I am not! Chat Icon

I plan on NOT being home as much as possible that afternoon.

After being around kids all day I just want my peace and quiet Friday afternoon! Bah!

Absolutely...........all those cute kids in those cute costumes......It reminds me of when I was young and how much I enjoyed it.....which is another reason I give goodie bags filled with loot...I remember how exciting it was emptying those bags when I got home..........

Nope that is why i am going out until late and all lights will be off. I have some nasty kids that come around and last year was my last year of being nice and giving out treats.

I would love to, but we don't get any on our block. We have no sidewalks and that doesn't help the cause.

Re: Are you excited to hand out candy on Halloween?

The first year in our house I was so excited for Halloween. Then the bratty kids showed up. No one said 'Trick or Treat!' or 'Thank you!'. Then I got the kids who asked 'Can I get one for my brother?' Chat Icon This year we're taking DS trick or treating and leaving a bowl of candy outside.

I love handing out candy to kids. I was just saying in another thread that I wish we had more kids that came around here.

No.

We leave half out during the day while we are at work, and the other half I make DH answer the door for.

I spend most of the time watching the cat to make sure she doesnt run out from all the door opening. Chat Icon

I get excited for about 10 minutes. Then, I'll have my MIL give out the rest. I hate getting up every five seconds!

Same here. Two years in a row not ONE person came to trick or treat. I was so disappointed, especially since I ended up eating all the leftover candy myself Chat Icon Chat Icon

Chat Icon Where do you live? In my neighborhood plenty of people dont participate and we just skip their houses - I have never heard of anything getting destroyed?

Re: Are you excited to hand out candy on Halloween?

I am excited! It's our first Halloween in our house, so I'm curious to see how many kids we get. I think I over-bought candy!

The only problem is that I have a wedding to attend that night, and will have to be getting ready for it after work, so it's going to be hard for me to answer the door!

I don't like Halloween, but it's probably b/c I'm anti-social and I have to deal with people when they come to my door. Chat Icon And lucky for me...I get 100 or so kids, not including their parents.

Looks like I'll be drinking wine while doling out candy. Chat Icon

Re: Are you excited to hand out candy on Halloween?

Absolutely! I love Halloween.

I'm still debating writing a note to thank the woman down the block that told my daughter last year "We had a lot of princesses today, but you were the most beautiful!" then gave her extra candy for being so polite.

She's 5 now and has practically no memory. When she heard Halloween is this week, she said "Do you remember that lady who said I was the most beautiful princess? I can't wait until she sees me this year! She is going to be so excited!"
